CE - how very very sad and I am so sorry for you .
Please do as the others have said and rest as much as you can. Please don't even think of going into work. Talk to us here - there are a couple of us that have had similar experiences, or find help on other threads for support.

You are in my thoughts xx

HumphreysCorner · 16/06/2008 14:54

Going to collect DD1 from school then onto my WW job so back much later.

thanks so much for your support ... I don't know what I'd do without you girls.

DP has gone to see my boss to tell him I will stay off tomorrow but go in wed, thur, fri as I will need to take monday off, probably longer. If things get bad I suppose I might need to stay off all week though.

I just feel numb at the moment...can't stop crying . Hoping that things happen naturally over the next few days as I dread the thought of going to theatre.

They said they have to wait a week by law as they don't want to accidentally do the wrong thing (they said if my dates are wrong, and I'm only 5 weeks pg, then they would see a HB in a week, but I know my dates are right so trying very hard not to cling to any hope).

I'm sorry to those of you who have been through this if it is bringing back bad memories

Bellie · 16/06/2008 14:59

of course you feel numb at the moment - that is perfectly normal ((((hugs)))). If you are not feeling like going to work then don't - it is not just about the physical side of what is happening to you.

They are right to wait a week, as it has been known that implantation can take longer than dates say to happen, so praying for you that this is the case xxx

Bellie · 16/06/2008 15:16

Off swimming now - will be back on later xx

Mandy73 · 16/06/2008 16:15

CE, I?m so very sorry for you both. I don?t know what to say.
xx

ChocolateEclair · 16/06/2008 16:36

thanks mandy - you don't have to say anything! I have had a bath and am feeling a little better at the moment.

Sorry to hear the witch got you this time. Hopefully this month is yours. Do you think you will stick with doing the opk's? or might you try temping?

I just want things to be sorted now so we can get back to ttc. (See I am an optimist really)

ceebee74 · 16/06/2008 19:49

CE - I am amazed at how positive you sound in your last post considering what you are going through - make sure you give yourself plenty of time and don't rush things

xx

juanitad · 16/06/2008 20:41

Oh CE, I'm so sorry. Stay off work till you feel a bit like yourself again. The kids can do without you for a while, I'm on end of year wind down now anyway and it won't be long before it's poster season, so yours can start early! You definitely need to look after yourself right now, school comes a distant second. I know it might not be any consolation right now, but you did get pregnant, so even if this one wasn't meant to be, it hopefully means that you and DP can conceive and that your little pip will be along another month. I know that doesn't make up for what you've lost but if there's any way to stay positive through this, maybe that thought might help.
We're all here for you whenever you need us....as others said, hopefully you won't need to have any medical intervention and nature will just take its course.

Lots of love

xx

Oh CE, I'm blown away by you being so strong and brave. V happy you are feeling a little bit better right now but as Ceebee said, do go easy on yourself. xx
Alas the witch got me but bollocks to that now. I've got some other positive (work) things after some crappy years so can't complain. Yup, got another CB OPK from boots.com (20% discount! Still daylight robbery but I felt comfortable with it)with DHs blessing. He wants to be 'more enthusiastic' this month - help me, somebody. Feeling a bit stupid at the mo so not sure I can get my head around temping but you like it, right?

HumphreysCorner · 16/06/2008 21:31

Ay up Mandy-temping is the most fun I have had in ages. Keeps me awake all night as I'm waiting for 7am to come round so I can take my temp again. At the weekend I don't set the alarm so have to make sure I'm awake which = no sleep. Even more exciting in the 2 week wait looking for evidence and all that. As for plotting it all on Fertility Friend, well that is a whole new ballgame! Good luck!

Oh CE I was so very sorry to hear your news. Sending my love and big hugs. Mine was at 9 weeks, had D and C, as it was a missed mc. You are right to get back on track, but take some time to recover.

Hello BB, I miss you!

Hello to everyone else.

Morning all

CE- just wanted to post to you and hope you are feeling OK this morning. I have been thinking of you.

Hi to everyone else!

ChocolateEclair · 17/06/2008 09:56

Thanks so much for all your posts ladies. It really does mean a lot to me. Very nice to hear from BB and Juanitad as well...we miss you!

Had a bit of a bad night (not going to go into TMI)but hoping the worst is over.....physically anyway(not sure if being optimisitc here). DP has been brilliant but he has gone to work today. I am not going to go back to work til thursday now, and I have asked my boss to tell staff where I am, so I don't get too many people asking...I know I will just cry

I do agree with Juanitad's comment though. At least we know we can get pg, and now we know what we are doing with the temping, hopefully we will be able to move on soon-ish. I am going to take some time out to deal with things though, don't worry.

Thanks again xxxxx

HumphreysCorner · 17/06/2008 10:00

Morning ladies

ChocEclair-do take plenty of paracetamol to help you through the cramping. Thinking of you.

Waves to everyone else.

HC - paracetemol and DP's grandmas hot water bottles! (I agree about the temping being a fun way to start the day, and you feel like you are actually 'doing' something).

Forgot to say Hi to soosy - how are you this week?

ceebee74 · 17/06/2008 10:28

Ce - sorry you have had a bad night - was wondering how you were this morning. Just remember to do whatever you need to - eat chocolate, watch rubbish TV etc! And you are entitled to cry - even at work!!

Hi to everyone else - lovely to hear from you BB although I can understand why you are just lurking at the mo

Bellie · 17/06/2008 10:54

Morning - CE sorry to hear that you had a bad night. Hope the physical side is getting better for you. It is a good plan to get someone else to tell everyone at work as hopefully you won't have to keep explaining all the time (that was what I found the worst).

Wave to everyone else - Soosy and BB - hope you are Ok and willmouse too!

ChocolateEclair · 17/06/2008 17:12

Afternoon all

Just wanted to share a piccie of the lovely flowers my fantastic DP has just brought me!

Have spent the afternoon with hot water bottle in my jeans, eating wine gums and chocolate, and trawling through last minute holidays for when I break up - we weren't going to go away but think we might deserve it now!

Hope you guys are all ok - who is next to test? HC??? Willmouse???
